Happy Sunday to y'all!

This question has always been popping in my mind for long. Whenever I visit churches around Nigeria I'm forced to wonder if this was what our Lord Jesus Christ had commanded us to go into the world to do.

Cover your hair, some say do not cover your hair! Women should wear trousers to church, some say come as you are. Some bow down to images and pray in ways different from others. The list goes on and on.

Our GOD is not a God of confusion!

Whats your take?

#EgusiSoup


Let me answer this question with simplicity and total understanding.Your caption is wrong to start with. ''Why are xtians not united'' ,what do you intend to say?Unity and doctrine are not the same,if you are talking of unity then you have to bring out strife and infighting and to greater extend the ideology to be better than the other. Upon all you observed none has or is fighting the other or claiming superior.Now in a layman's explanation.Send two people to go and cover a wedding ceremony or major event,no mater how close their thinking faculty is,both will not come out with similar news of how the event unfolded except one copied the other verbatim.It is not possible for two groups of a place of worship follow same principle or doctrine,what i think is important is the morality and faithfulness in real worshiping what they believed the right way.No religion is in unisome in terms of way of worship,the basics is what all try to uphold.For the bible,i think the ten commandment sums up the basics to follow,why for islam it is the 5 pillars.Inconclusion,i see no disunity as you try to point out. Shalom

Lolololol. I will help that's if you really want me to. But you need it. Let me just give you an intro. Just two lines.

There are more than a hundred Islamic Denomination with their respective place of worship. Saying the five daily prayers in another's mosque or place if worship makes you a bad believer.

And there are more. Just learn. When you do you will have less problem with them.

I beg to disagree with your first sentence. You don't really know who Muslims are.

The man is talking on what he knows nothing about. Why is the ISIS & boko haram sect not considered muslims by other muslims,yet they read al quoran,pray 5 times a day.All religion falls into this scheme of imperfection.It is not peculiar to a particular sect.

If muslims are united why do they keep bombing and killing them selves ?
quran is a divine book with a single author God himself. Back to the question was devil not an angel? He chose to go astray so does boko haram and the likes of them

No offense to my Muslim fellow citizens...but Islam does have its sects...the two main ones being Shia and Sunni....and a minor sect...the Sufis. There are also a host of other minor sects....and some heretical sects that are not Islam...but based on Islam. And yes...there are differences (Sunnis and Shias pray slightly differently for example).

I agree with you op, another one is look at muslims for instance, they can enter any mosque at anywhere to pray, but we Christians even if we move out of town we would still be looking for our very own "brand" of church to worship, per adventure they don't find their church in the new town, some will decide to stay at home, rather than go to another church, one christian would say I can never attend that church, another would say I would rather sit at home than attend that church and we all call ourselves Christians. Theres obviously division among us
You are so on point!

Because modern day CHURCHES are now PETROL STATIONS.

IF U can't meet up, you Break up and start yours

MOST are looking for CUSTOMERS and not SOULS.

MOST have DILUTED the word of GOD serially to the extent that pastors now mention PHUCK and SEXX in churches.

Because CHRISTAINITY now has so much FREEDOM as compared to before.

Because the THING dividing CHRISTAINS are much.

Because we have allowed LADIES partake greatly in church activities, such that there is so much LAXITY.
Just visit a nearby church and observe dress code.

Remember that when they took the 1ST LEAD in the bible to chop the FRUIT, the 1ST MAJOR SIN was estabilished.

Because PEOPLE now wait for god of men( not MEN of GOD) to study the BIBLE for them and deliver to them DILUTED CHRISTAINITY.

We no longer study, the BIBLE.

MOST CHURCHES who HIT the nail one the HEAD are mostly AVOIDED out rightly, because the TRUTH IS BITTER.

Above all, Just know that you can be better than your pastors, Because this JESUS that came is for EVERYONE
Absolutely! Is so refreshing to know that people who are sensible and not gullible like you still exists in our country.

I have wondering also Muslims Are one no wonder they are strong but we are divided why?
Go and learn more about Islam, its even worst.The Izala calls the shia dogs during a rally in pz zaria and said they are not muslims. The shia do not believ in mohammed but his brother Ali. In Iran you hardly get a job if you not shia.A shia man cant give his daughter out for marriage to an Izala man. Elzarzaky keeps fighting over every mosque in zaria if not until he built the one in pz zaria. This followers see him like god in Kongo where he stays.what about the Barcheto etc? What makes them better is that they will never say or write anything bad about Islam. A mallam raped a 10 year old girl in one islamic school in samaru zaria, even the police never knew about the case cos it was a mallam, but let that happens to a pastor and see what the christian ll do

Myopic. Before you jump to think i am biased,i am 70% muslim,i know why i wrote 70% for you.Never ever condemn another person's religion,if you castigate another man's religion if same is done to yours you will spark fire,leave all man with his spiritual conviction and don't try to impose or prove yours is the best.Religion is a myth and illusion so practise what you feel is good and leave others do what they feel is good.Afterall Ibrahim is the father of Ishaq & Ismail.

THe only reason most people go to church this days is because they are in need if one miracle or the other (mostly prosperity) nothing to do with repentance, love their fellow human or heaven.

The pastor are also there to take advantage of the gullibles.
